18 TOWARDS DISCIPLESHIP

We were talking yesterday and for the last fort-
night about realizing the Master. I think we are set-
ting about it in the wrong way. We are all longing
for that realization, but we are wholly unprepared
for it. I do not think if you go to Australia you are
any more likely to find the Master—less in fact,
surrounded as you are by petty troubles and jealousies
and so on. Some of you may have the good fortune
to find Him there, but do not go away with the idea
that if you cannot come near to Him here you are
going to find Him there. To be with C. W. L. will
not inspire you, on the other hand, you will be miser-
able, if you have not acquired the right attitude be-
fore you go.

For the last three weeks we have been talking
about selflessness and so on, but we are not much
further, apparently, than before. We are still the
center of our circle. There is not in us the longing
or devotion of the real devotee. There is too much
of oneself in one's devotion. We are troubled by the
thought: "What is the good, what can I give to the
Master?" We may not be able to write or to lecture,
or lead others. But what we can do is to give our-
selves, give our love, our devotion, our whole being.
That is far more important than lecturing or anything
of the kind. Give yourself, and you will give some-
thing that nobody in the world can give for y^u.
